Celtic goalkeeper Stewart Kerr is training with the Latics as Paul Jewell continues his search for an experienced keeper to offer competition to Derek Stillie.

The 26-year-old stopper will be hoping to impress sufficiently to earn a loan move south of the border.

At present, Kerr only has permission to train and so cannot feature in a reserve team fixture.

However, speaking on Wigan's official website, Jewell said: "We are having a look at Stuart over the next couple of days with the possibility of taking him on-loan."

"Having a young lad like Scott Tynan on the bench for the first team every week isn't ideal. I don't mean any disrespect to Scott but we need someone a bit more experienced.

"It's almost impossible to find a good goalkeeper at the moment, although we do get a lot of faxes through every day."

Kerr has played 40 games for the Scottish treble winners, but has never fully established himself in the first team and last season made just one start, against Raith in the Scottish League Cup.

He spent a period on loan at Brighton in 1994, before having his best season at Celtic Park in 1996/97, playing in 26 games. Unfortunately, his career has stalled somewhat since then and he would no doubt relish a move to the JJB.
